"Old El Paso"

Just seen on channel 4, an advert for old el paso tacos. It was showing a parent take the tv, which the kids were playing videogames on into the dining room, voice-over saying there must be an easier way to get them to the table. On the tv they were playing Mario Tennis, and you could see the N64. Is this just an old advert? I havnt seen it before.

Yeah I've seen it numerous times, several years ago. It was the sort of thing you could send into NGC magazine and win games. Tho' they closed it down, probably cus I kept 'winning'...

Old El Paso's Enchiladas > All other dinners

Yeh, I posted about this about a year ago too!

Anyway, it doesn't mean the ad has to be old! They might still play their N64 in the Old El Paso household!!!

I loved that theme tune...

Chicken or beef..?

And the mario tennis looks good, I might get it if I can find me some decent controllers for my N64, the 2 I have now are brokey.

I've never tried beef, actually.

I had mince once, they were pretty good, but it was too fatty (ugh, I hate fat), so I usually have chicken.

Turkey also, because it's about a million quid cheaper for turkey and it tastes no different.

Whatever you do though, don't use bacon.

Too salty.

Did you not like the Cube version we played a few weeks ago?

Of course I did! But its cool to be retro, and then i can say "No way man Mario Tennis 64 > Mario Tennis on the cube" and then I will be content :)
